Removing a signature from a jersey

At the Brewers fan fest this year I got a Jackie Robinson day jersey of a relief player. All of the jerseys available were signed, though I would've preferred a non signed one. As a Jackie fan, I bought it more because it was a 42 jersey and not because of the player.

I'm wondering if there is a good way to remove the signature without altering the rest of the jersey.

The signature is in silver sharpie on a navy number. Any thoughts? I'm thinking about hanging it out in the sun, but not sure if by the time the sig fades off it will fade the rest of the jersey as well. Thanks!

    Is the signature on a letter or body of the jersey? What color is it where the signature is?

    I realized I didn't include that and edited it in as you must have been replying.

    It's signed in silver sharpie on a navy blue number.

    With silver you may be SOL.

    can you just but a replacement number and swap them out?

    this is an interesting question, can't wait to see the ideas

    Hanging in sun is a bad idea. you will need to find a solvent that dissolves the "ink" but does not change the color of the number. Swapping the number might be a better idea.

    Good luck!

    Try Oxi-clean - Use a non-chemical sponge and dab, don't rub
